Hyundai: all the sedans on one motive

Introduced last fall in Frankfurt Hyundai Sonata sedan showed that Korean companies have something to back up their ambitions. First of all, a spectacular design in a new style of "flowing sculpture. Yes, in the guise of the machine can guess the features Nissan Teana. For example, the slanting headlights, radiator grille with a characteristic kink. And the air flows are regulated vovskii "little man". Will charge it on the following automotive fashion. But now the Huyndai had his own face. Albeit at Asian way pretentious, but his own and quite stylish. Design was never a strong point of the family Sonata. Several generations of faceless units Mitsubishi. Then, in 2001, the fourth generation of the stern of a la Jaguar and lights a la Mercedes-Benz. These machines are still manufactured in Russia TagAZe. Then came the fifth generation Sonata with an index of NF - boring, even if in a European appearance. Following the crossover ix35-and sixth-generation Sonata and i40 for a new classification, "sculpted" design will stream on the Hyundai model range further. At the Beijing Auto Show Koreans reported completely new sedanchik B-Class Verna, known in some markets under the name of Accent. Previous generation Verna twice failed in Russia. Affected and the relatively high price with poor equipment, and the weird design. Russian buyers have preferred cheaper predecessor - Hyundai Accent Taganrog assembly. A new generation of Verna / Accent - Sonata in miniature. However, with decreasing proportions were quite harmonious. Compared to its predecessor machine increased by 60 mm (4,340 mm) in length and was lower by 10 mm (1460 mm). The wheelbase has increased by 70 mm (2570 mm). Platform with racks racks McPherson front and rear trailing arms - new. The body, as promised, become tougher due to the use of high-strength steels. Complete specifications vehicle is unknown. Machines for the Chinese market will be two engines. This four-power 1.4 107 hp and 135 Nm of torque, working together with either a 5-step "mechanics", or with 4-speed automatic or motor 1.6 with the same number of cylinders, issuing 123 horses and 155 Newtons, which is offered only with automatic transmission. Consumption on the combined cycle with a "mechanical» Verna c engine 1.4 - just 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers. There are rumors that the machines for the U.S. market will receive an immediate 1.6 engine capacity 140-150 l.s.Krome addition, Koreans are working on a six-speed gearbox robotozirovannoy. It will be installed on the Kia Rio a new generation, as well as other small car Hyundai. On when the new Verna / Acent appear on the Russian market and will be there, too early to say. But what awaited her success - it can be stated with certainty. A gap between the Verna and Sonata will fill a new generation of sedan Elantra, she's Avante. Car show at the motor show in Pussane. The recipe is the same - a proprietary "flowing sculpture, and completely redesigned vehicle. Engine until one, but what. Inline-four equipped with direct fuel injection and a mechanism for adjusting valve timing on inlet and outlet. Return the motor is impressive - 140 horsepower and 167 Nm. In this case, the power plant by 10% more economical engines of similar size, equipped with multiple injection. Equipping the new Elantra is also impressive - a 6-speed automatic, xenon, LED taillights and even the rear seat. Production of cars will begin in the fall. Family Elantra quite popular. Over twenty years of production out of print for more than 6 million units of four generations. The current Elantra debuted in 2006 and the special design and technical revelations did not differ. However, on its basis the Koreans set up their first hybrid car. In the Russian market are sold both at the same generation model Elantra - the third generation is still produced in Taganrog.
